Acer Spin 7 5G will use Qualcomm’s new 8CX2 chip

Along with Qualcomm’s announcement of its second-generation 8cx2 5G mobile computing platform, Acer is the first OEM to use the new ARM-based chipset in a new Windows 10 2-in-1 called the Acer Spin 7. It has a Fully articulated hinge that allows you to convert to tablet or stand mode.

The chipset will support LTE and 5G networks (both mmWave and sub-6GHz) with theoretical download speeds of up to 7.5 Gbps down. Qualcomm Squistic Noise Cancellation and Suppression will work to reduce background noise in video calls.

The Spin 7 comes with surfaces treated with silver ion antimicrobial agents. These treated surfaces include the touchpad, keyboard, and surrounding areas. The display glass is made of Gorilla Glass, also with an antimicrobial coating. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the Spin 7.

It has a 14-inch IPS LCD screen with 100% sRGB color gamut, weighs 3.09 pounds, and is 15.9mm thick when closed. It is built with a magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis with a blue-toned finish. An active stylus is included and recharges into a slot inside the Acer Spin 7. It supports 4,096 levels of pressure thanks to Wacom AES 1.0.

Aver promises that the Spin 7 will have a battery life of “several days”, but does not offer battery size or a usage metric. Without a doubt, we can expect this device to have a far superior battery life compared to some of Intel’s ultraportable counterparts.

The final specifications of the Acer Spin 7 have yet to be confirmed. The new laptop is expected to be fully announced later this year. The verdict on whether ARM-based chipsets will be viable replacements for the x86-based processors that the modern computer (and Windows) have used for years is not yet known. In the early years of ARM-based computers, there will surely be incompatibility issues for running legacy applications.
